UFA has in the past enjoyed plenty of game officials for our games, however we are currently experiencing a referee labor shortage. Soccer is a growing sport and, as the sport grows, the demand for referees grows. The state of Georgia has less than half of the certified officials it had this time last year. This is a statewide issue that affects all clubs.

There are a few ways you can help in this matter. Anyone over the age of 13 can be certified, but we can use younger/new officials for our "in-house" U12 and younger recreational games. This means we can assign you to a game and you receive payment without needing to be officially certified. We still encourage all to get certified (once you are 13 years old), as there are many rules/laws with which you may not be familiar. 

Referees are considered private contractors who can choose which location, what time, what day, and what club they work for. This means the schedule is very flexible. Additionally, pay is $20-$80/game depending upon position, age group and play level. Referees are paid bi-weekly. 

Certified referees will need to purchase an official uniform kit. Officialsports.comAmazon.comRefereestore.com and more have starter kits available.

UFA In-House Referees will be provided a UFA Referee shirt and only need to purchase a watch and whistle. To become an In-House Referee, please complete our form here.
